With a warm smile on her face and a hint of concern in her tone, Mrs. Shumulus said earnestly, "I see that your empress is still as beautiful as ever. I think my life has gone well in the past two years."
Wen Xi nodded slightly and looked at the petite Ruozhen. She just lowered her head and did not dare to interrupt casually. Wen Xi said, "Is this Ruozhen? The longer she gets, the more beautiful she becomes." In fact, Wen Xi didn't remember at all.
What does the third uncle's concubine look like? I'm just saying something polite. But Ruozhen is really pretty and has a delicate appearance.
Mrs. Shumulu immediately smiled brightly, leaned forward and sat upright, and said in a friendly tone: "This child was raised by a servant. He should have brought him to kowtow to the imperial concubine long ago." After saying this, he motioned to Ruozhen and said more affectionately:
"The imperial concubine is your cousin!"
Ruozhen stood up quickly, knelt down and kowtowed, and called out in a thin and soft voice: "Cousin."
Although Shu Mulu has entered the palace before, this is the first time she has brought a junior into the palace. It seems to be for next year's draft. Wen Xi always felt something unusual in her heart, so she nodded and asked someone to get a Ruyi reward and give it to Ruoyi.
Zhen made a meeting gift.
Ruozhen hurriedly declined and said timidly: "Zhen'er dare not accept such a valuable thing."
Shu Mulu smiled and said: "You can keep the reward given by the imperial concubine. This white jade Ruyi seems to be mutton-fat jade. It is really a good thing!"
Wen Xi didn't like Ruozhen's cute and timid appearance, which seemed a bit artificial, but she still wanted to give face to the third aunt, so she sighed slightly: "I heard from E Niang that she is seventeen, and Guo Luo
Luo's princess is as old as her, and she will be eighteen next year. All good girls have been delayed."
Shu Mululu sighed slightly: "No! Ruozhen is a very good-looking person, but she was delayed twice in the draft. I just hope that I can leave a mark in next year's draft."
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a positive tone: "The Niu Hulu family's character will naturally not be abandoned, so Auntie can rest assured. During the introduction, I will see if there is anything good for Ruozhen."
A member of the clan will never wrong Ruozhen." However, if the concubine of a marquis wanted to be the main wife, she would have to be an idle member of the clan. Moreover, Ruozhen was not too young in terms of seniority, she had to be Kangxi's daughter.
There are only a few people of the same generation, so if you think about it carefully, there aren't many people to choose from, so you can only choose someone who is somewhat decent.
Mr. Shu Mulu pulled Ruozhen to stand beside him. He said with a little pity: "Ruozhen is not recorded in my name after all. She is not a legitimate daughter, and she dare not ask to be the main wife." After saying this, he sighed again and suddenly asked.
Said: "I wonder how you are doing with your noble family these days?"
Shumulu suddenly asked about the good appearance of Guar, the nobleman, which made Wenxi a little confused and said, "It's not bad. Although it's not as good as when I first entered the palace, I still feel a little less favored."
." What Wen Xi said was of course polite. After all, she and the noble lady may not get lucky once in a month. If she didn't have the identity of Wen Xi's cousin, she would have fallen even more out of favor.
Yan Rong is closer to her elder sister-in-law, but she has never cared about her. Why would the third aunt care about a noble person with whom she has no contact? It gave Wen Xi a bad premonition. She always felt that today the third aunt's
There is a somewhat unusual sense of flattery in the closeness.
"Back then, the old lady just wanted to find a smart and beautiful girl from her family so that she could enter the palace and help the imperial concubine keep her favor. After all, it was of no use to the noble lady. I'm afraid she would have to ask the empress to worry about her instead!" Mrs. Shumulu sighed.
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Heguiren is very peaceful on weekdays, so there is no need to worry."
Shu Mulu looked at Ruozhen beside her and said with a smile: "Ruozhen has been delayed after all. She is afraid that she will not be able to marry into a good clan. I thought, let her come into the palace and serve the imperial concubine."
Wen Xi suddenly suppressed her smile, and her tone was a bit cold: "Auntie is joking, I have many slaves to serve me." When Shu Mulu said "serve", she probably meant the concubines with low status in the first palace.
Serve the throne! I thought I was just finding a good family for my concubine to marry, but I didn’t expect that the Shumulu family actually fell in love with Kangxi!
Ruozhen made a soft voice, moved her lotus steps lightly, took a step forward, and said softly: "Zhen'er is willing to serve my cousin."
Niu Hulu Ruozhen is indeed an extremely beautiful girl. Coupled with the romantic and charming nature, she is particularly able to arouse the protective desire of men. She has red phoenix eyes, is delicate and charming, and has a charming charm all over her body.
When Wen Xi saw her like this, she became even more unhappy. How many years has it been since anyone dared to act charming in front of her? If she hadn't cared about Princess Niu Hulu, Wen Xi would have had someone kick her out.
!How can he still tolerate her acting like this in front of him?!
Seeing that Wen Xi didn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Shumulu said with a bit of flattery in her tone: "Zhen'er has wanted to come to pay her respects to the imperial concubine for a long time. She has admired the imperial concubine very early in the morning! Although the imperial concubine now has the exclusive favor.
, but we must also plan for the future, Zhen'er is the empress's cousin, even if she enters the palace, she will still listen to the empress in everything!"
The gentle face became more and more cold, but Mrs. Shumulu didn't notice it, and just said: "Ruozhen's appearance is something that men will like when they see it! The slave thought that there are no other concubines in the Empress' Chengqian Palace.
Concubine, if you let Ruozhen come in and serve the empress and the emperor, you can also imitate the beautiful story of Empress E and Nv Ying working together as one husband!"
Ruozhen immediately blushed with embarrassment, her expression was extremely delicate, and she timidly said: "Zhen'er doesn't dare to compare with female heroes, but she has already admired her cousin."
Admiration? Admiration for her current position! Wen Xi said coldly in her heart. Today's Shu Mululu is no longer the aunt she used to be. Things and people have changed, and even people's hearts have changed. Wen Xi suddenly thought that it was because of Lin Ge
Her status was hit by her death, and Chengen's title returned to the lineage of Ye Bilong. The third uncle's lineage would only be counts in the next generation. Compared with the hereditary honor of Duke Chengen
, I’m afraid the gap is getting bigger and bigger! For the sake of the glory of her children and grandchildren, and for her own status, is she thinking about asking her “daughter” to come into the palace and seek glory for Sabitun and Sabi?!
"Zhen'er?" Wen Xi asked with a bit of sarcasm and coldness: "Who gave you this name?"
Ruozhen didn't understand why Wen Xi asked such an abrupt question, so she smiled sweetly and said, "Of course it was E Niang who got it."
Wen Xi shook her head and said in a stiff tone: "This name is not good."
Shumulu and Ruozhen suddenly looked embarrassed, but they did not dare to refute Wen Xi.
Wen Xi continued: "The fourth elder brother is called Yinzhen, and the fourteenth elder brother is also called Yinzhen. If you choose such a name, it will inevitably be offensive."
Shumulu was silent. If Ruozhen could enter the palace, she was the concubine of the prince's brothers, so where could the offense come from? She was not the prince.
Wen Xi glanced at Ruozhen, who had a look of grievance on her face, and said, "Why don't I give you a different name?"
Ruozhen hurriedly looked at Mr. Shu Mulu, a charming smile immediately appeared on her face, her body was filled with happiness, and she said softly: "Please give me my cousin's name."
"Just call her Ruoning!" Wen Xi said calmly, as if she chose the name casually, "It means peace. Only when people are peaceful can they live a peaceful life."
Mr. Shumulu's face turned a little pale, and the meaning of Wen Xi was very obvious, but he still refused to give up and said: "My dear, there must be someone to help you."
At this time, Lutan opened the curtain and came in, Fu Yifu said: "Master, the emperor is coming over for dinner in the evening. Should I ask the dining room to prepare it?"
Wen Xi hummed, thought for a moment and said, "It's getting late, so I'll prepare some of the emperor's favorite dishes." She glanced at Shu Mulu again, and said in a cold tone, "Although I'm busy, I'm not ready yet.
I need help, so I’m sorry for your trouble.”
"Empress!" Mrs. Shumulu called out hurriedly.
Wen Xi raised the tea cup in her hand to serve the first cup of tea to welcome the guests. The second time she raised the tea cup was to see the guests off. Without any expression on her face, she said: "I am busy, so I won't send the guests away."
Shu Mulu was speechless. Ruozhen did not give up, she knelt down with a bang, and begged with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, Zhen'er is already seventeen years old, and her whole life has been delayed. If cousin refuses to take Zhen'er in, she is speechless."
Son, I'm afraid Zhen'er will have to go to the nunnery, and the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng will die!" As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down his face, his tone was choked, his slender body was sobbing slightly, and he looked pitiful in all kinds of ways.
The appearance of pear blossoms with rain is really lovely. It’s a pity that Wen Xi is not the kind of person who cherishes fragrance and cherishes jade!
Wen Xi's expression became colder and colder, with a look of disgust in her coldness. She even used coercion when her begging failed?! It's just that Wen Xi is the person who is least afraid of threats! She will never be threatened by others! Her tone was particularly cold:
"The place in front of the Buddha is a clean place and there is no room for unclean people! I advise you not to go there!"
Wen Xi gave Shu Mulu a cold look and said: "After all, she is the princess of the Niu Hulu family. Don't just think about how to ruin the Niu Hulu family's family tradition! Even if she is not the princess of Cheng'en Palace, she is still the princess of Cheng'en Palace.
She is the daughter of the Marquis, please restrain yourself from this unseemly behavior!"
Shu Mulu was frightened by Wen Xi's cold tone, and hurriedly pulled up Ruozhen, who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, and said: "Slave, please take Ruoning back now and teach her well! Next year's draft,
I must not embarrass the empress and the Niu Hulu clan."
"No need!" Wen Xi snorted, "There are no such rules, and it's too late to learn them now! It would be embarrassing next year, so I will immediately ask the emperor to grant her an exemption, and the prince's palace will also hurry up
Find a family for her to marry!"
"This..." Mrs. Shumulu hesitated a little. This is her husband's last daughter. It would be a pity if her marriage cannot be used to benefit her son! But looking at the attitude of the imperial concubine now, she is afraid that there is no hope of entering the palace.
Damn it! Mr. Shu Mulu sighed inwardly and said: "Yes, I know it. I will discuss this matter with the Marquis when I get back." Let's see which prince still lacks the concubine Fu Jin and the side Fu Jin. At least Ruozhen looks like one.
